When I think of my worst experiences at work I don't necessarily regret that they happened, but that I was caught off guard and ended up being too apologetic because I didn't want to get in trouble. I should've just said the plainer truth because on the occasions I do, I don't seem to get in trouble for it.
So, when the last nasty woman asked "Is there anything IN PARTICULAR you're mad about???" I should've said one of three things:
--"In particular? No. Several things, yes."
--"Not anything I'm going to discuss with someone I don't know."
--"It's not anger; it's dread."--and leave it at that with no further explanation. (I was getting frustrated at the amount of pain I knew I'd be in later because of the amounts of transactions I was doing. That's better now; this was months ago.)
